Pigeon Roost

We headed out to Pigeon Roost Farm this weekend with some friends and had a great time. The twins held up pretty good.

Grady holding his corn husk.

C on his way to find Big Foot!

C & R heading down the slide.

C feeding the animals. He is a brave boy!

Grady going in the corn tunnel!

Grady coming out the corn tunnel a happy man.

We could have probably left Grady and the corn tunnel the entire time and not had to worry about him. He loved it.

No, the song is to the left to the left, you are looking the wrong way!

Matt, Jen and R after face painting.

R & C in the clubhouse.

C riding the horse swing.

Gwen riding the horse swing.

R did not have such luck with the horse swing!

Gwen loving the hayride. The wind was blowing on her and the ride was bumpy!

Something was funny!

Matt thought so.

C did too!

Once Gwen was out of the corn tunnel she was a happy girl! The ice cream probably helped too.

No, we did not put them in the cage with the animals!

My little leg girl. I would not have it any other way.

Grady almost took off into the straw tunnel.

Human gerbil wheels!

No mom, that is not how you do it!

Corn box! About the closest the twins will get to being buried in something for a long time. Pacifiers are a necessity as they really do like corn and it was getting close to lunch time.

R making corn angels!

C getting his clothes loaded up with corn to take back to the car as a souvenir.

Good camel.

Watch it!


Thanks for the hayride Patty and Ed, it was great.

See you next year!

Cotton Candy

We headed out to a cops and kids day in Westerville the other weekend and found a great surprise... Cotton candy! Neal was so deprived as a child (he always complains he got nothing, including action figures), so of course we got some. I had to throw it in the kids hands just to give Wendy a tiny heart attack!

Don't worry Wendy, I am sure there is spinach some where inside all of that sugar! I have to admit, I enjoyed it a little too, ok a lot!

Dukes of Hazard

Thankfully my mom saved this!

Carts

Carts are so important when carting around twins by yourself or even with someone else in tow. The older they get the less they want to stay still. We typically shop at Lowe's but had to go to Home Depot for something and found the most amazing cart ever.

Yes this is what my life has turned in to, critiquing carts! It is great that the kids are close by me unlike Kroger. Typically there is some pushing or stealing and I like to have a front row seat for it.

Grady's wave

Grady is so awake in the morning. He is really cheesing it up at the table during breakfast. I usually get a lot of waves before going to work.

Now and Then...

Now...

Then...

One year ago, hard to believe! If I only knew how easy it was back then. Ok, not so much easier to get a picture of them both looking at the camera, but you understand. Dinners out were rarely interrupted and there was no one to entertain or feed but myself. Our day to day activities have changed so much. They are no longer sitting in bouncy seats for hours a day. They move so quickly I turned my head for one second and lost Grady in our tiny living room. It gets harder every day in some ways, but also easier. I guess no one can tell you that until you live it. The babies are growing so fast it is amazing. Leslie and I were talking about C going to preschool and I cannot even believe it. I still remember holding him for the first time in the hospital. Preschool...really?

Open Gym

We hit up two open gyms on Friday and the babies did pretty good. The parents were much more courteous than at the mall play area! Grady was trying hard to hang out with the big kids. Gwen on the other hand just wanted to walk alone. A little girl did try to be her friend for a while. They walked hand and hand for about 3 minutes. After that Gwen decided she wanted to be alone. After all she does have to deal with Grady pushing her around all day!
